Fraudsters are actively in operations right now, exploiting the fear and uncertainty created by Coronavirus to prey on innocent people.
These criminals call, send SMS or email customers with fake claims that their bank accounts have been frozen or closed, then ask the customers to provide their BVN and personal account details to reactivate their accounts.
Please note that this is a fraudulent attempt to steal your money. While our branches are temporarily closed in response to the spread of coronavirus in Nigeria, your account remains fully operational.
